Issue #16012 has been updated by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA). I migrated snapshot package tests from ruby/actions to ruby/ruby repository. Now we test `make install` every pull reqeust with Linux, macOS and Windows. https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/.github/workflows/tarball-ubuntu.ym... ---------------------------------------- Feature #16012: Add a (small) test-install suite? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16012#change-117371 * Author: MSP-Greg (Greg L) * Status: Closed * Assignee: hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) ---------------------------------------- At various times there has been discussion about whether testing should require `make install`. Although I prefer to do testing using install (vs build), I see it as a choice, and not a requirement. From time to time various issues have arisen that cannot be found with 'build' testing. Often, these issues cause CI test failure with master/trunk/ruby-head in external repos. Sometimes people blame 'Core', other times Travis, or rvm. Regardless, it doesn't look good. So, might a small set of tests that check install functionality be added? It may need to be two separate (but equivalent) scripts. One for *nix, one for Windows. In ruby-loco, I'm using a ps1 script to check that CLI bin files work. As soon as the update is pushed here, I'll add a test for nested bundler commands... -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
